Well after much thought, the front splitter will be going on and there will be no sticker bombing on the car. Bumper is in at the moment being smoothed. Door mouldings are to be removed shortly but just debating what else to do???
Anyone any ideas?Comment

Hi guys,
Not been on for a while, bad stuff happening at work and home but wont bore you with the details.
Just a quick update on the car as nothing has been done over the past few months.
Unfortunately coming to work one morning I lost the car on some black ice coming into the industrial estate coming into work. It made a right mess to the offside rear of the car, so needed new wheel, hub, bearing, shocker, and rear axle so that was a priority just before christmas!!
So now i have decided there will be some changes made in the Spring/Summer.
Bumper has finally gone in for smoothing and will be dropped off to me today with the front spliter fitted and fog light surrounds in black to blend in with the vents. (Pics will be posted tonight after I have been to the gym).
Going to look at some new rims, maybe something along the lines of Porsche Twist or some Merc wheels. not had chance to really have a look so please hit me with any ideas you might have.
Interior is going to stay the same for now unless I get offered full black leather from a VRS Special Edition.
if anyone has any ideas you would like to hit me with please do so
Cheers for lookingComment

I love Fabia vRS's bouht one new in '05 an yours is a beauty
Honestly i dont like it without the numberplate holder thingy on the front that whole (in need of a better word with my limited english vocabullary) seam between the lower and upper front bumber piecess just gets to visible...
And it neeeds low mine was dropped 13,5 cm on top of the 1½ cm factory drop drove with Weitec coils with heated springs to get that low:-D
and even though i love the Octavia wheels i would find some 9x16" with very low profile tires to get that extra low;-)
Mine had around 160 Bhp but it would still take on much more serius cars, its finest momet was leaving an Escort Cosworth with 350bhp and a ferrari testarossa in the dust driving home from Le Mans one year! at least 50 times crossing Belgium i out accelerated them from 120-170km/h when we had to overtake trucks and campers even though they geared down.
when we stopped for fuel they came over asking what the hell was under the bonnet cause they couldnt keep up even after changing down a gear! I never left 6th LOL should never have sold it...Comment

Is it just the light or does the front look uneven where the plate used to be?

I would reduce sticker count, but love the car otherwise.

Cheers for the comments guys. I have been thinking about reducing the sticker count TBH as i think that was just a phase but we will see.
The bumper is completely even mate, i had them redo it as it didnt look right so its just the photo.
I wouldn't go back to 16" on these mate they look far too small.
I have just bought myself a set of 17" Porsche twist last night so need them rubbering up and a little refurb then adapters will be put on and ready for when i get back from Portugal in April!
Keep the comments coming!
BTW 6th gear it awsome!!!Comment

Bump!
I've seen your profile on Briskoda too, right?
Love this Fabia build, no pictures of the Porsche wheels or current state?
Might be getting myself an Octavia vRS station '06-'08 model.
Enough info on briskoda to find so far!Comment
